Default Re: 1952 f1 wobble

Steering stabilizer may stop the wobble, but these trucks were not designed to wobble. As long as you are checking on things put the truck up on Jack Stands, try wiggling the wheel. Front to rear as well as top and bottom. Good to have someone else to assist in this procedure.
While you have the wheels off the ground also check the bushings on the end of the leaf springs and shackles. I had a noise I couldn't identify for a long time and found the bushings an all four leaf springs were trash.
If you settle for a band aide it still isn't fixed.
Enjoy the adventure... Chap
